The web server does not even need to be set up on the dev machine. Any
SSL enabled web server with a webobjects adaptor will do. The important
thing to realize is that it is the browser and the web server that are
doing the secure https communications, the webobjects application is not
involved in the https transaction. If you are doing something with
sensitive data you may want to have your webobjects application check to
make sure the request is really over https before it returns any data.
There are several ways to check if the request was made with https, most
involve looking at the request headers (i.e. if HTTPS=ON or if
SERVER_PORT=443 ).

I do the following:
1) install SSL certificate in IIS on local dev machine.
2) setup to run the WebObjects.dll on the local dev machine:
A) Setup app to start on same port every time.
B) Setup webobjects.xml file pointing to app on local machine.
C) Setup registry entries for the WebObjects.dll
That's it. Other than coding your application to use http(s) as
appropriate. Make sure and start calling the app w/URLs like
http://mymachine/scripts/WebObjects.dll/.... Or
https://mymachine/scripts/WebObjects.dll/.... Important part is that the
port number for direct connect is not there, make sure you use the
webserver.

Can anyone tell me what I need to do to set my PC (Windows XP, WO5.2.1,
java
1.3.1, MSSQL2000Server) so that I can test using https requests?
TIA
